I caught one of Sharif's shows in Arlington last night. He played a bunch of songs with a band at the Clarendon Ballroom. Then he left with some blond girl, so he's presumably straight. Then again, maybe it was just a friend. I didn't see any lip action, but he seemed pretty interested in her. I'll try to catch another show soon and report back.

OMG!! Sharif is gorgeous!! I thought he was beautiful before, but after hearing him sing to Jackie, WOW! I was melting, I can't imagine how she felt. Lucky girl. The song he sang tonight is actually up on his website for a Free Download. It's called "Stay," and it's gorgeous.

Just go to www.sharifmusic.com and you can get it for free. neato. There's also another song up there called "Simple Ways (Jackie's Song)." I'm thinkin Sharif may have been our big winner here.

It was odd the way he was REALLY complimentary of Jackie one moment in interview, and then basically turned around and stated that he was sure that he wasn't going to feel anything for her. Why did they even air that? It's either the biggest gay fake-out they've let through, or it's blatant. Sure, it's probably true that ALL of the guys--even the straight ones--probably care more about the money than her. Even if the straight guys thought they were signing up for a dating show, it's just too much money to be casual about (although even in "honesty" confessional mode, alot of guys would cling to a kind of "I can have the girl AND the money attitude just on principal). But to completely dismiss the possibility of any feelings out of hand, especially after you've praised the heck out of the girl? WTF?

I actually noticed the same thing, and fortunately have the show on tape (yea, I'm a little obsessed) Anyway, the tone and pitch of his voice changes completely between the praising and talking about the money. Also, you can't see him when he's praising Jackie, then they cut to his face when he's talking about money. I suspect FOX did a little bit of editing in that interview, because it was just too weird. But hey, we gotta expect that in these reality shows, right. Nothing's really real.

Yea, I guess even Fox is scared to push some boundaries. That's why they can't play the shower clip, or the testical one on TV. Anyways, I can't really comment on everything that happened just yet, but after the show is over I can talk a little more. So stick around.

I can't wait to see what Sharif has to say after the show ends

Thanks for the support Sachin. Yea, to me, it's all about the music. Who cares who I sleep with, right? Hell, sometimes I don't even care.

Sharif's own words... I love his comfort with his sexuality. He's an inspiration!
